THEY WANT DRINK.
Notifications Of the Prohibitory Liquor
Law Proposed.

MOdihcatlOpa Ot the fTOhlDbOry Liquor
Lazy Proposed.
ATLANTA, GA, September l6.-A con-
siderable number of Atlanta citizens are
agitating an amendment TO the city
charter, whereby they will not be put to
the inconvenience of purchasing their
liquids in adjoining towns.
The Corporation Committee Of the AS
sembly will tavorably report q bill which
provides that, in the event Of the anti
prohibitionists being successful in the APP
preaching election, the sale Of liquor shall
he restricted to one-half mile Of the centre
of the city, and fixes the license at 81, 500
per year The bill will Lot - into effect
until ratified by the voters Of the county.
The question OF restriction and the license
are to be submitted to the people at the
same time that the issue of prohibition is
yoted upon.
The campaign this fall on the question
promises to exceed in point of interest in
Tolved any canvass of the character ever
conducted in the county. Hotel men
and others experience great losses through
the strict enforcement OF the present law
and are certain to exert themselves TO
their utmost to effect concession.
While the statute is rigidly enforced
and the poorer classes are deprived OF liq-
uOr a large proportion of the Georgia Ex-
press Compapy's business is represented in
the handling of suspicious jugs. However,
the law unquestiOnably has effected an
appreciahle improvement in certain direc-
tions, and the negro dance house, with its
incidental bIawls and razorine dsmOnstra-
tions, is an Institution Of the past.
But upon the respectable portion Of the
inhabitants the law falls with most rigor-
ous effect With respect to hotel where
the negroes and lower grades Of humanity
with whom a glass Of liquor has the effect
of match in a can of dynamite, would not
be accommodated, the citizens generally
entertain the opinion that the law has over
stepped the mark.
The fall campaign will be indeed exciting
and the purpose of introducing the amend
r,slt ct this time js to influence tha public
so that its provisions will obviate tine
present embarrassments without defeating
the manifest good of the present enactment.

THE desperate strait of the Republican
Marty was never more aptly illustrated
than It Is now, when the Republican press
: stopping to give currency to the most
rslpsh.e and outrageous lies in connection
with the events OF Friday in Philadelphia.
IN ,hri, mad efforts to get some kind of
,smpaisu material 1t seems they do not
hesitate 10 traduce even the wife Of Presi-
dent Cleveland, one of the most sensible,
modest and lovely ladies that ever graeed
tba, eminent social position Of the first lady
IN America. These organs are saying that
Mrs.. Cleveland insulted Governor and
MIS-. FORAKER by refusing to shake hands
with them at the Presidents reception in
Philadelphia Friday evening.
Il need only be stated that Governor
and Mrs. FORAKER were not present at
the Presidents reception in Philadelphia
Friday evening.
There Is not man worthy of the name
in America who will not resent this coward

The Teacher Certificates.
Special telegram TO he Register.
PARxERsBURG, w. VA, September l8.
An important case is in progress here
before Judge Munroe jackson Of the State
Circuit Court. 1t is in the nature Of q
petition filed in chambers to compel the
production of the books of the Camden
Consolidated Oil Company before COM
mission here who are taking testimony in
the case Of the State of Ohio, against GER
tain railroad companies, to revoke their
charters for freight discrimination in favor
of the Standard Oil Company. George
Pice, the famous independent refner,
some time ago instituted proceedings,
as q result of which the Attorney
General of Ohio brought an ac-
ton against the Cincinnati, Washington
and Baltimore railroad and the Marietta
and Cleveland railroad, to revoke their
charters for discriminating in favor of the
Standard. A commission was sent here TO
take testimony and they want to see in
side of the Camden Consolidated books.
The decision of the Court is awaited with
some interest.
There was but one applicant here before
the State Examining Board for teachers
certificates. The few applicants through
out the State is giving rise to some COM
ment, and perhaps the reason for the same
as given by q member of the Board may not
be out of place.
He says in his opinion there are two
reasons; first, some years ago State certi6-
Gates were rendered void, and teachers do
not care to risk it again; and second, the
examinations now in addition to the
branches heretofore include mental philOs-
ophy. The teachers not being generally
required to teach this are not up in it, and
therefore do not want to run the risk OF
failure on that account. He says further
that the teachers throughout the State
have gone to work to study this subject,
and in the future the number of applicants
will be much larger. The principle of the
law is all right, aud in time its practical
operations will be q success.

A LIVELY TIME.
Socialists and Georgites Split-schiliing
Did Not Speak.

Socialists and GeOrgites Sptt-Schilllng
Did Not Speak.
New YORK, September 1S.--GeOrge A.
Schilling, of Chicago, was present at the
Central Labor Unions meeting to-day
and was desirous OF presenting the case of
the condemned Anarchists to the body,
with the view of enlisting the labor
unions in behalf of the convicted, but in
terror disputes prevented the visitor from
carrying out his mission. The schism be-
tween the Progressive Labor party Social
istS) and the George people broke
out and caused a great uprOar.
Matthew Barr, OF the iron and sheet
iron workers presided. There were about
200 delegates present. Mr.. Schilling was
a Especial guest" Before the meeting
another letter signed by dozen represen-
tatives labor organization men, including
Samuel GOmper, President of the Fedora
tion of Trades, and James L. Quinn, Mas
ter Workman of District Assembly No. 40,
X OF l., expressing sympathy with con-
demned was prepared.
The Socialists were dumbfOunded to hear
Ed COughlin, of the progressive party,
offer resolution TO the effect that the Cen
tral Labor Union should refuse to allow
its name to be used by any political body.
The Socialists felt the blow aimed at them,
and the GeOrgeites cheered wildly. Dis
turbauce reigned for nearly ten minutes,
when motion TO table the motion was
declared lost amid vigorous opposition.
Mr.. Enrich, Of the Furniture Workers
Union at last got the floor and shouted
that the delegates ought to be glad that
political party that would take up the
principles Of the Central Labor Union had
been found. Hugh WhOsoskeg made a
row by moving the previous question and
Enrich called him a coward Tor so doing.
Your position will not stand debate"
cried Enrich.
The resolution was adopted-52 to A;
whereupon the defeated prOgressives set
up a cheer of defiance. Equally hearty
cheers for the United Labor party were the
response and the meeting adjourned with
ont offering a chance to Schilling to be
heard Mr. SChilling afterwards said that
Captain Black would come to New York
on Tuesday and have conference with
General Pryor and another gentleman
whose name he was not at liberty to give.

THE MEANEST LIE YET.
HOW SOME IDIOT JOURNALISTS OPBNRDTHE
CAMPAIGN IN PHILADELPHIA.
A Story That Mrs. Cleveland Refused to Shake
Hands With Governor and Mrs. Foraker
The Governor and Mrs. Foraker
Were Not at the Reception.

PHILADELPHIA, September 1S.-Tht
reports telegraphed from this city, telling
how Mrs. Foraker had been insulted by
Mrs. Cleveland, while doubtless intended
to make Mrs. Foraker seem to be an iniur,
ed person, do both persons great injustice.
The utter falsity of the reports leads one
to wonder how they came to be invented.
The correspondents were probably antici-
patinR some such coolness and the absence
Of anything of the kind at the meeting ol
the President and Mr.. Foraker, seems to
have determined them to make tales out ol
whole cloth.
Mrs. Cleyeland's amiable disposition is
too well known for the people to believe
the reports sent out, and as the truth
travels fast at the heels of the falsehood,
she will be set right.
As for Mrs. Forkaker she did not attend
the Academy reception at all, where &C,
eording to the report sent out, she was SC
grossly insulted by Mrs. Cleveland.
PHILADELPHIA, September 1S.-The
report published in New York paper yes
terday morning, that at the reception
given Friday night to President Cleve-
land and wife, at the Academy Of Music,
Mrs, Cleveland refused to shake the
hand Of the wife of Governor
Foraker, is absolutely without fouu-
datiOn. The statement grew out OF
the fact that when the procession was pass
ing the Presidents stand at that portion
where Governor Foraker and wife were
riding, Mrs. Cleveland inadvertently
turned aside, her attention having been at
tracted to something. This was observed
by great many who magnified it as in
territorial on the part OF Mrs. Cleveland.
At the reception last evening Mrs. and
Mr. Foraker were not present.
Philadelphians say that the report was q
mere expression of malice to injure the
President through his beautiful and
smiable wife.

Mrs. CIeyeland's Action Misconstrued.
General COmmendation.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, September Is
Mrs. Cleveland, from her eligible position
on the balcony of the Lafayette Hotel on
Broad street, had most favorable posi-
ton to view the marching troops at the
military display on Friday, while she was
the conspicuous object to the thousands
congregated at that point About the
time the Ohio militia appeared she
was observed to closely scan her pro-
gramme. She reached over to Mrs. Whit
ney laugingly and whispered something TO
her. As Governor Foraker, who has been
conspicuous in the Grand Army condemna-
tion OF President Cleveland's Confederate
dag order, was nearly abreast of the hotel,
the Presidents wife was observed to turn
her back to the street. The crowd, which
was closely watching both Mrs. Cleveland
and Governor Foraker, at once jumped to
the conclusion that the Ohio Governor had
been snubbed. This incident caused con-
siderable comment at the time, but it
soon blew over.
Mrs. Cleveland was universally com-
mended to-day for her action. The story
that she snubbed the Grand Army of the
Republic is untrue. She didn't review
that part Of the parade, because the time
arrived for her to keep an engagement at
dinner with Mr.. Childs before the II. A. r.
arrived in front of the hotel.

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
rendered Mrs. Cleveland by Hon. Geo. W.
ChIlds aud Wife.


PHILADELPHIA, PENN, September Is
The most brilliant social event con-
nected with the visit of President Cleve-
land and wife to Philadelphia took place
yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. George w.
Childs rendered an afternoon reception to
Mrs. Cleveland at her husbands country
seat, Wootton, twelve miles outside the
city, in Montgomery County. The affair
was great success and was attended by
over three hundred invited guests, COM
prising the most distinguished people Of
Philadelphia and vicinity, who were af-
forded an opportunity to meet the Presi-
dents wife in social way.
The guests were taken from the city TO
Bryn Mawr Station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in a special train Of eight cars.
Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of her party
occupied the private car of George b.
Roberts, President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the short ride was spent most
pleasantly. The ladies who accompanied
and received with Mrs. Cleveland were:
Mrs. Bishop Potter, of New York; Mrs.
Lily Manchester Laughton, of Washington;

Mrs Colonel F. D. Grant, Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer, of New York; Mrs. J. Dundas

Mrs Cleveland and the ladies who &C
companied her in the private car took up
positions in the hallway and made ready
to receive the guests. Mrs. Childs, who
was to have done the honors with Mr..
Childs, was indispOoed, and, although pre-
sent, she was unable to take any part.
The guests, to the number of several hun
dred, filed through the house, and, as they
passed the Presidents wife, she had
greeting of some sort for each. For those
whom she knew she had word or two of
welcome comment or inquiry, and for the
strangers who came unannounced she gave
a cordial and kindly shake Of the hand.
She wore a dress Of brown surrah
silk, with a petticOat of cream surrah
and gold embroidery trimming Her
bonnet matched her costume, and
she wore bronze slippers. At first she
wore her gloves, but as the reception pro-
gressed she removed them, Iemarking as
she did so: II can never receive with my
gloves on"
For about half an hour the guests stream
ed through the oaken hallway of WOottOn,
their pilgrimage beneath a
canopy behind the house, where refresh
ments were served.
Among those invited were: EXPresident
aud Mrs Rutherford B. Hayes, ExVice
President Hannibal Hamlin, Executive
Secretary Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, Cen
eral and Mrs Sheridan, Hon Thomas F.
Bayard, Hon. and Mrs. Fairchild, Chief
Justice and Mrs. Waite and many other
persOnages.

Russian Distrust Of Germany.

ST. PETERSBURG, September lS.-The
arrival of Emperor William at Stettin dis
quieted the public, who fear he and the
Car will meet and arrive at an under
standing, Russians distrust Germany,
and fear that should a meeting occur it
would result in the rapprochemens on the
basis of Germany's support of Russia in
Bulgaria, whereas the prevalent feeling is
that RusSia's interest and prestige would
be most benefited by the adoption of an
independent policy. Among the well-in-
formed, however, this fear is regarded as
baseleSs, because of the belief that if the
Emperor and Gar do meet any action on
the part Of the latter wogld he no more
than mere act OF courtesy, entirely de-
void Of political meaning.

In regard to the sudden reinstatement
of Radbourne By the Boston management,
